The death of young John Lamar on the
Savannah train this morning is deeply
regretted here. AS soon as the news Was

the death OF our beloved friend and
ciassmate We lose a valued classmate, a
genial companion and warm friend.

memory snail be cherished by US al
ways"
Young Lamar entered college two
years ago. He led in all studies in the
freshmen class and was only prevented
by illness from repeating it in his sopho-
more year. He studied closely this
year, and would have stood third
in the Junior class but for his illness.
Two weeks ago his physician advised him
TO go home, but ambition and a strong
Will sustained him under physical in-
trinity.
Chancellor and students speak highly
OF him. He was a member of the Phi

BECOMING CHEs rxUTrY.
A Report That Keeps railroad Men
Busy Denying II.

Away bsck IN August last report
was circulated that the Richmond and
Danville railroad was after the Georgia
Central. TAe report was repeated and
contradicted every week or two until the
Richmond aud West Point Terminal
scOCped the Richmond and Danyliie.
Since that event the Richmond and " est
Point Terminal has been substituted Tor
the Richmond and Dauville IN the rumOr.
Tue following from kiernan's Wall street
Summary has all the posltiveness IN as.
sertion 81 certain knowledge:
"a meeting OF the Richmond and Ter
minal directors will be held next Thurs
day, al which the acquisition OF control
OF the Georgia Central railway VII! be
secured. Alfred SullY, OF the Terminal
Company, and Ii. B. Hollins, OF the
Georgia Central, are now South on this
business.
The details ofthe proposition are with
held, but il is the intention to make 1t =
cash transaction on the part OF tue Geor-
gia Central. The Richmond Terminal
people expect 20 issue an obligation suffi-
Gent IN amount to pay for majority Of
The S. 800, goo Georgia Central stock.
The price TO be paid is not yet deter
mined. The TerBi al people are now n.y.
urlng on II. 1t Will probably be between
$50 and 10 for control. Inc money will
be raised Oy the existing syndicate, who
Will take the new Terminal obligations.
The dividends on the stock and the
other advantages TO Terminal are eX-
pected TO make II a good investment"
When the matter WAS mentioned to
Gen. Alexander, he stated that 1t Is the
same old report which has been going
around for three months or longer.
Il do not know anything Of any such
negotiations" he remarked.
''lf there were such negotiations going
on you would know something about
them would you not?'
Most assuredly L would"
And you say you do not"
Il certainly do not.'
The brokers do not seem to believe the
report. They say they do not, and one of
the leading brokers, who is supposed to
be in the condolences of the present man
agement of the Central, pronounced the
report groundless.

AN UNGRATEFUL GUEST.
HE ROBS THOSE WHO TREATED
HIM KINDLY.

Comtcal Features to Case in the City
Court-A Colored Prisoner Who
Claimed that He Was Doctor Sent to
the Chain Gang for Six Months for
Larceny.
The proceedings OF the City Court be-
came divertiug yesterday when the case
OF the State against Kane Brown was
called. The comic valentine that wo uld
do Brown justice has not yet been print
ed. In general appearance he is pro-
nounced burlesque on humanity, but
withsl he appears to have a cheerful ma
ture, and would probably smile CRATE
fully at Judge in the act OF passing the
death sentence upon him.
Nellie Butler, an old colored woman,
who lives out on the Louisville road, tes-
tined that one day last November Kane
stopped at her house and asked permits
sion to stay over night as the weather
was threatening. She and her husband,
Bosle, made no objection, and the
stranger was taken into the bosom or the
family. He beguiled them during the
evening from the resources of his rich
imagination. The old woman proceeded
10 repeat some of the things their guest
told them. He rather amazed toe old
couple by informing them that he was
doctor. He added that two city physicians
had given him 5000 between them to leave
savannah and not interfere with their
practice. The bogus doctor. claimed 10
be able TO give seance and call spirits
from the Vastly deep, but he said that he
would refrain from giving a performance
FOR fear OF frightening his hosts.
AT daylight Brown was missing, and
also 50 in cash and a complete suit of
clothes belonging to the old man Butler.
When be was arrested q few days later
Brown had the clothes on. The defendant
declared that he did not steal any OF the
articles mentioned, but that the old
man, out OF the goodness of his
heart, made him present of them.
| That did not strike the court as very
plausible, and he sentenced the prisoner
to six months on the chain gang, which
he apparently took as good joke. When
Butler heard what the sentence was be
fell down on his knees and, with his
hands appraised, devoutly implored a
blessing upon the Solicitor General and
| the court.
Susie Davis (colored) plead guilty to
| the larceny of 81 worth of clothes from
Mary McNeill, and was sentenced to SIX
months.
Gilbert Jones was found guilty of as
sault and battery on Millie Jones, and
was given six months.
Henry Aiken and Middleton Aiken
were required to give bonds to keep the
peace for six months.

From a Copenhagen Letter.
There is lit lie unad0rned grave out
in the West Cemetery that is marked by
neither cross nor stone. Around it stood
year ago a queer band OF dusky savages
while a cnild's coffin was lowered into it's
depths. The men wore eagle feathers in
their tangled hair, and, though wrapped
in thick red blankets, shiyered in the
wlntry blast OF the January day. The
tallest of the mOurners was Black Horse,
q Sioux chief of the band of Indians then
In the city, and beside him stood his
squaw, White Bell. The harsh winter
cold had killed their child, Okesa, or
Black-eye, pretty little girl. White
Bell has returned to her native plains
since then, but tine CHER is still here.
The other day the London steamer
brought box that had come the long
way from the setting sun to Black Horse.
In it was a wreath of dry and wlthered
prairie grass bound together with strips
OF read leather. The following was writ
ten in English on a card that was at
tached: "For Okesa's grave In the far
East-from her mother and the unknown
friends beyond the sea-"
The wreath was laid on the child's
grave, aud the snow and the bitter wind
are playing with the withered leaves from
the great American plains.

Talk of Opening a New Road.
The thrifty farming population living
north OF the Augusta road and west OF the
Ogeechee canal are taking steps to have
the county authorities inaugurate sys-
tenn Of drainage in that locality. 1t is
one of the most valuable sections of the
county, and is thoroughly cultivated.
The only drawback to il is the want OF
proper drainage and good roadways. The
opening OF road leading out from Bay
street bridge has been urged for a num-
Der OF years, and it would doubtless be
of great advantage 10 the city as well as
to the property owners and Others inter-
ested in that locality.
The way, however, to secure such i'm
provemenLs is for those interested 10 pre-
sent tue matter to the city authorities and
County Commissioners and then aid them
in every way possible In carrying out the
work. Good roads can almost always be
secured where the people are willing to
give the right OF way, and with the open-
ing up of the country the work of drain
ing will naturally follow. The much need
ed change, however, can be done without
opening roads. No money or labor is re-
quired OF individuals in county improve
ments, but it is necessary. that there
should be cooperation between citizens
and the authorities in order 10 have il
done inteIligently and promptly.
